Reducing the manufacturing cost of an EL display device and an electronic
device furnished with the EL display device is taken as an objective. A textured
structure in which projecting portions are formed on the surface of a cathode is
used. External stray light is diffusely (irregularly) reflected by the action of
the projecting portions when reflected by the surface of the cathode, and therefore
a defect in which the face of an observer or the surrounding scenery is reflected
in the surface of the cathode can be prevented. This can be completed without using
a conventionally necessary high price circular polarizing film, and therefore it
is possible to reduce the cost of manufacturing the EL display device.
